I am not upset he was pushed down. I am not even upset that it happened when the para was looking away for a few minutes helping another child. What I AM upset about is the para said he tripped when she had no idea what happened. Lex didn't tell them he tripped. She literally guessed what happened, put that on an incident report, and is what was told to us as fact. I think ANY parent would be concerned if their child had a concussion, HUGE bump on their forehead, what appears to be a black SWOLLEN eye and their child is telling them something completely different from the school. I am not upset with the teacher and I know NO ONE can watch a child 24/7 but honesty and transparency is expected, and is what SHOULD happen. I am so glad Lex is okay now and I really hope the para learned from this experience.

I'm 20 years old, and not only I am a huge fan of your videos, but I'm also autistic. I don't let it affect me as a person, it's interesting that my life was changed after I found out that I was autistic, I do a lot of stuff with my local Special Olympics program where I live, it's changed my life, when I started watching your videos, it made me feel good inside that you tell your story of being in a family with autistic children. It's also frustrating to hear about this, I was bullied at school at a younger age, but I had help and a really good teacher and friends to help me through it.

You are totally correct. They were probably worried you'd sure them for negligence if they spoke the truth. There was an element of guilt behind their lying. As a teacher of preschool, I've had to phone parents and tell them their child is injured. It's never easy. But I'd never lie about it.

My son who is 7 yrs old with austim. This week told me he was scared to go to school. I told the para and she talked to my son with me there.he said a boy kept hitting him and that's why he was scared. So they are keeping eye on it and have the boy closer to the teacher. I'm so proud of my son for telling us. I'm so sorry that happened to your family.

I think you did a really good job of responding to this and not letting emotions overwhelm logical thinking. Definitely important to figure out what happened and create a plan for it in the future but considering that what you were told had gone through four people who didn’t know what really happened in the first place, I can understand why you were told what you were told. I’m glad that you were able to speak up and request more transparency in the future and that they understood where they were wrong in making an assumption and stating that as fact. I hope Lex is all back to his normal self now and feeling great! Sending you lots of positive vibes ! ❤️

We had so much fun hanging out we have to do it again super super soon. And I will never get over how much our lives are so similar. I’m so glad that you’re in our lives so we can connect and have someone to commiserate with. You’re such a great friend💖💖💖

Thanks for sharing your lives with us all. I love how you share your love. I love being a member of your LANDing Crew!

he thinks everyone that talks to him is his friend… that’s so sad because of his innocence 🥺

I feel you frustrated though. My daughter is 13 and has ADHD. I've had issues with the public school for years now. Today she had her first day of cyber charter school and the best experience in school in years. On top of that they reached out to me to welcome us and explain things. They will keep in contact at least monthly. Sometimes a change needs to happen. Best of luck mama!

I haven't even watched yet but we are dealing with something very similar! Our son was involved with something with another student. It was so bad the other student got suspended...I never even got a phone call. Then they come to me about how my son can't pay attention in class...while the other student still sits right next to him. 😐🤦🏻‍♀️ im sure I'll be back comment more after I watch!

Oh my gosh! I would be so mad at that teacher. I hope he feels better. Glad you got it all worked out! They need to be more transparent with you. Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

Something similar happened to my son.. makes me so angry to hear that happened to you guys. You are a great mom for holding them accountable

I feel so bad for your son! When I was little I had a similar experience, although I wasn't hurt to that degree. I tried public school twice, kindergarten and third grade, and I was bullied horribly both times by kids and teachers because of my disabilities. My Mom ended up homeschooling instead because it wasn't safe for me. I hope your kiddo is okay and doesn't have any problems from this going forward.

Way to go Lex for speaking up. Keep an eye on things. I had a concussion and years later I started having issues with light it went away but affected me for a summer. Love lex's personality he is so goofy.

This exact thing happened to my kindergartener this week. The teacher told me that someone ran into him. My son said the two boys pushed him. They were punished and made to apologize. I’m still iffy about it. I’m keeping notes to my self if it keeps happening.

I am thrilled to hear you and Em live near each other. I follow you both. Sadly I do not watch as much as I would like, but I love both of your families. 🥰

Omgosh! Poor Lex. I am glad he is feeling better.

Oh my goodness that’s awful poor thing sending you lots of love Lex

I am so sorry that happened to Lex and I’m happy to hear that he’s doing much better now. ❤️

Just when I think my sons 504 being ignored is a problem…. This is way worse , I’m sorry you’re going thru this. I thought my head was going to explode when the Assistant Principle told me we are on the same team….. NO , Sir, if we were on the same team we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I’m glad they are stepping up and seem to be owning this situation.

Mama, you do whatever you feel you need to do for your baby. Situations like these are very hard to try and navigate especially when you have already been through it with the system. I’m a para and some of our kids do have extremely close 1:1s and some of us do keep our students in eye sight even in the playground. He Deserves to get what he needs . 💜

Nah girl! Fight it! School districts need to be more attentive with our children!!

Oh my gosh. Head trauma is scary glad he's better now.

Swear there’s a bully in every class all the way down to preschool. So sorry about this and the schools response or lack thereof. I experienced a very similar incident in December with my 2nd grader and had to worry he had loss of peripheral vision. Thankfully he does not but so terrifying. Hugs to you mama you are so amazing. 💙

This has been my life, thank you for sharing. I have two verbal ASD+ADHD kiddos and have fought a school to remove a principal (head of school, not sure what you guys call that) due to child endangerment. My son from that school is 9.5 and it took 3 years to get him back into full time school and start easing his supervision on the yard. My older son hasn't needed that kind of supervision but I have had plenty of battles for him too, especially when he was 5/6/7 years old.

You’re doing great Steph!💙

I’m glad they at least have cameras to look back on at the school and are willing to pull the footage for you! The doggy daycare I used to work at, there was a fight and a dog needed stitches on his leg. The owner didn’t even show the camera footage to the dog’s parents. The new daycare I work at, any fight we have, we jump on the cameras to see what happened, even if one of our staff saw it

Poor baby. Glad he’s feeling a bit better, sending Lex a big hug 🤗 xXx

I started school when they first began mainstreaming kids with disabilities; they were ill prepared and had absolutely no idea what to do with us! My mom argued continually with educators as well as administrators concerning my needs until the day I graduated. I’m a 47 year old Jen Exer who is still emotionally scarred from my school experience.

sue the school for negligence

Awwww! Poor Lex .. Feel better soon 😓

Omg that's terrible. I would be so mad. That's always my worst fear with my son's with Autism. I am praying for you guys

When I was a one-on-one para with a student who was an elopement risk. I always followed the student around the playground just to make sure things like this don’t happen.

Poor boy ! Get well soon 😘🙏🏼

It's so hard when our kids are off at school without us to watch over them 🥺 we had to take our youngest out of public school we could no longer trust them and they weren't will to give him a 1:1 aide and things were only getting worse after four years so it was time

I love your positivity. New sub here 💕

I would be so mad. I hope he feels better. My Lil guy is non-verbal 6years old, has severe autism. It's so scary because I never know what really happens to my son. I may never know; unfortunately, it's so sad. I totally understand what you mean it's so exhausting fighting the school districts for every single thing. I live in vegas and we have the worst in the country. I have been fighting for an aid but they don't want to supply us with one. I'm so exhausted.

I’m so sorry!

I am so happy to see you and Emily sharing friendship… now I want to move to Colorado to be part of your group 😉 but (I am not going to lie) Texas is pretty good too!

I remember many years ago going to some place that people stuck there stickers on the back of the sign right outside and it was covered with layers of them!

Poor baby. Hope they watch him better.

My daughter from Indiana called us to say that my kindergarten grandson was in the ER. He was pushed by another boy and his arm was broken.

Sadly I had the same problem last year with my daughter where she had to get emergency surgery if I was you I would talk to the teacher and see if u can see the CCTV. Hope he’s doing better and hopefully it doesn’t happen again to him all the best

Yep my son was bullied by another student and if he wasnt verbal I would bever have known. so happy I got him out of regular school. He is now in a small group almost like group home school but with his behaviour consultant

Feel better lex

Do the kindergarten kids have their own playground at school? Every school I’ve ever been too and/or passed by has a separate closed in playground with a locked gate (or no gate if the school is old enough). I’m in Canada though so I thought it might be different

My 3 year old that has autism goes to an early education, he doesn’t talk or cry when he gets hurt. Week or two ago I picked him up and they told me a kid bit his cheek, it looked red so I thought it will go away. But then it turned into a bruise. His dad rosed hell, since they weren’t watching and didn’t tell us as soon at it happened.

❤ you are so LOVED...

I had the exact same issue with my daughter when in kindergarten. Both teacher and aide didn't see it, they asked Kaitlyn what happened and she said a boy threw a block at her. The boy said blocks fell and hit her. Story I got was boy's version. Kaitlyn was verbal, so I questioned it. It hit the corner of her eye leaving a mark so I took her in to get her checked out and injury documented. Dr. actually said boy's story couldn't have happened. So off to the school I went. They tried to dismiss me until I was going to pull Kaitlyn out. Then I got an apology and the truth, and a promise that they would be honest in the future.

i just want to say i think you are a great mother Aplus.

I am actually supervising my son at the play ground to see how he acts towards other students and how others react w him… he has autism and in TAP class… teacher is always telling me how he is always touching other students and I’ve been working w son on that, but one day dropping him off at school I decided to wait with him since we were early and this other kid ran straight to him and hit him on the head while TA s were just talking.. I then asked them if that happens a lot? Which they ignored so I let principal and teacher know how pissed I was that TA did not intervene with the other boy… Unfortunately TAs will know I am supervising and watching in a class room so I am sure I won’t catch any of them off guard not doing their job… I was a TA at a school and know it only takes seconds for another kid to get hurt but I def don’t like when they are distracted by phones or talking to eachother… like I said being a TA myself I saw alot of that….

That poor baby! 💗 (I call all my kids still my “babies”, even tho they’re in their 20s now! lol!) I hope he’ll recover quickly. I had to battle my daughter’s school it seemed almost every year, so I know how you’re feeling. 💞

Me and my wife are both autistic and coming from someone who know how schools are when it come to someone who artistic they'll treat us like trash

When I was in kindergarten I broke my arm. The school never called my mom. They waited for my mom to pick up at normal pick up time. She was really angry.

Iam really sorry about Lex. I would have had a far more emotional response if it was my son which BTW his name is Noah and is also autistic. Iam extremely thankful that my son has a wonderful RBT that’s always in the lookout for him and loves him like a son. We live in Florida and I have to say the Public system tho is great for kids they don’t have many resources for special needs kids or are able to provide the support they need. I have found that private schools at the moment work great for our situation even tho many people have mixed feelings in the matter. I hope you can solve the issue without further stress in you and Lex

So sorry for what happened to your son. Look into connection Academy, Virtual school. Home schooling has been the best option for us.

When my daughter was 3 the school called me and said that my daughter broke her glasses. They said that she took her glasses off and broke them with her hands. I KNEW that was NOT true. I asked if she fell. She has an issue where the reflex in which we throw our are hands out to protect ourselves during a fall is a inconsistent. So, at that time especially, if she fell she was likely to fall right on her face without putting her hands out to protect herself. Anyway, they were adamant that she did not fall and she just took her glasses off and broke them. When I picked her up at the end of the day, she had a cut on the side of her face near her eye....right where the hinge of the glasses would go if she fell on her face. It wasn't a huge cut or a deep cut but it was definitely visible. I saw it right away. I immediately pointed out that she obviously fell on her face and her glasses cut her. They finally admitted that they didn't see her fall. Which I was fine with...they can't see everything. I am an educational aide myself with many years of experience. I realize things happen. I just upset that they were adamant that she just took her glasses off and broke them and insisted that she did not fall. Thankfully she wasn't more injured than that little cut. In reality she fell on her face. They did not see it. The first thing they saw was my daughter with her broken glasses in her hand and they assumed that she took them off of her face and just broke them. Mind you this would have been a COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER behavior for her (Not to mention that her glasses were bent to such a degree and at such an angle that a 3 year old would not be able to just bend them into that shape, it would be a difficult for an adult to just bend them into that shape) A fall made much more sense. But instead of saying her glasses are broken and we aren't sure what happened and she doesn't appear injured. They went with the unlikely "she took her glasses off and broke them". I know they can't see everything..but I know some scenarios are highly unlikely and when you didn't see what happened you have to use clues to figure out as much as you can. And for goodness sake say "we didn't see it but we think she fell on her face". or "we didn't see it but we think he (Lex) tripped".

you're my hero... that's all

How do the kids do with blood draws?

❤❤

Feel better we love you guys

That poor baby! I’d be pissed!

Transparancy is like my #1, disabled child or not. How can you teach children to be honest, if adults don't do the same. It always go better when you say "I don't know, but let's see if we/I can't get the correct answer!" I too often think about the disabled children/adults who cannot advocate or speak for themselves and often fight for them, even if I get frustated in the end. You can only take so much though.

My son is 3 and has autism and ahds and I have people calling etc for him to go to nursery and then one day school, and all these videos I see witch help so not a bad thing. But it's why we are going to do home schooling as I can't think how I would cope if my son when through something like this as

Aw poor lex....

Aww ☹️

I been thru this so I can relate.. my child was slammed to the floor causing seizures and the school denied it. Board pulled videos and they don't lie.. she was assaulted by a teacher and her arm pulled out of socket and had to get the er put it back.. and then the ambulance had to come bcus someone slammed her face into a table and it was busted up. Being non verbal was a big issue. I hope all gets resolved.

i so sorry this happened and i hope they will be honest but dont be surprise if they continnue to lie may be time for new preschool

Look up CVI, Cortical Vision impairment

Absolute guess but I imagine people do that with their stickers on the pole in solidarity. Even if the parking lot is empty, you can look at that pole & know you’re not alone, everyone’s family has it’s own medical issues & traumas. Edit: I wrote that before you told me about Lex’s concussion. I’m so sorry your trauma with schools was triggered again & I completely understand your reactions. I hope you’re taking care of yourself as well as your kiddos ❤️

Never clicked so fast

I have a question. And please don't be upset I'm genuinely just curious.. Why do you have Penelope and Liam still weird still rear facing? Is it because they are just so small that it's not safe for them to sit front faced like Lex would or is there something else? Are they too small weight wise?

my mom fought with my high school for three years . i was bullyed horible to the point a bottle of supper glue and box of gliter dumped on my head . lucky we had a hair school proram at my school took them 3 days to get it mostly out . saddley they said its my fult that i was bullyed .But i did end up dropping out and getting my ged and now i own my own catering/baking businnes . your a supper mom alone side with mom with kids with disibltys .

🥺❤️

What is Emily’s channel ?

If they had cameras that caught what happened, why didn’t they watch the footage to clarify what happened before just making something up for an incident report? I definitely agree with you about he whole transparency thing. If you didn’t actually see what happened, then say that, don’t just make something up.

MRI Brain Scans should be a must

Ilove you somuch miss

❤❤🙏

Yeah I would be so mad my daughter is autistic too and when she was in a church pre School I showed up early to get her without letting them know I was coming.and ran up on them outside and my daughter was outside playing with rocks and the teachers back to her and the other kids were away from her and they were facing the teachers. Also they just didn't acknowledge that she had autism. They just pissed me off and it was other things besides this but I just never sent her back . I was not going to let them make a fool out if my sweet girl

That's awful poor kid i do agree 100% with kkids needing to be supervised on the playground i can't stand it here when i see kids running around unsupervised at a playground or anywhere

It's four were we live in Idaho

Schools are notorious for covering their own (excuse my French) asses with incidences at school. It’s very bad because kids are getting hurt and teachers and adults turn a blind eye when kids (especially ones with special needs) to kids either falling due to being clumsy or kids actually being mean.) I think schools should be trained to handle kiddos who are special needs. I would def go to the school board if it’s not addressed or solved properly.

The sticker thing is happening in saint Peter's lacey Washington

He does need a full time aid if he got such a large injury while in the schools care. Shame on them

I'm sorry if this is too personal, but are all of your kids your biological kids or do you adopt?🥰

With the stickers we have little coloured stickers and at my local hospital we have board and it says put ur sticker on the rainbow and my son is autistic and he came home back in 2019 with a black eye and couldn’t explain it and my son wouldn’t tell me and still won’t tell me

Looks like the bottom of a cup or bottle left an imprint on his head

Poor baby I hope he’s okay 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️

what is that spinning toy!

Hun you are so strong !!! I would fight the school my son has autism I fought my sons school 3 years got nothing this time around im still fighting I will always for my kids ..im so sorry I hope he feels better !!!!

Do you have an advocate

This is a contuiation of this story, right? The first part of this was posted like a week ago, right? I'm not going crazy, am I? I swear I have heard about this before but there's no video of it before an hour ago...

For her mask to fit properly tie it behind her ears, meaning make a knots

To be honest at least schools should have a few adults looking after kids when it’s recess, even if there’s a gate up and it’s locked.

Do you want me to fight this fight for you? I can if you would like. I have Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, TIC Syndrome, Anxiety, Depression, Solar Retinopathy from looking at the past Solar eclipse for at least eighteen minutes without wearing glasses of any kind, allergies to cat, dog and horse hair and I used to have Asthma attacks and I had a Feberial Seizure in Sun Valley when I was 2.

Yes but also the aid is supposed to be helping out this specific child and not anyone else in the class room

As a paraprofessional I would look at the para because she may be covering her own butt she looked away for a minute or she was helping another child he got pushed fell some thing and she wasn’t watching him I would be concerned

Why is your three year old *backwards* …?

Sue the school
